Inspirations

There have been a number of people who have been an inspiration in pursuing this hobby and getting this project off the ground.

I couldn't have got started properly myself without the Vintage 20 mil site created by Richard and Harry .

Pierre Omidyar invented e-bay in 1995 and so has been responsible for my haemorrhaging money for the last few years.

I would like to thank fellow e-bay buyers who have made prices for Hinton Hunt items so high on e-bay that I have mainly stopped haemorrhaging money and am very tempted to start selling instead of buying.

A group of fellow collectors and enthusiasts have offered help, support, comments, figures, words of wisdom, or even sold me figures - among them Alan, Dick, Harry, Ian, Iain, Jim, John, Peter, Tony, Uwe and Will. If I have missed you off you know who you are (and I have obviously forgotten).

Thanks to those who have joined in the joint purchase of a number of large collections and who have passed on the opportunities for these.

And not really for this blog, thanks to those who are buying up the moulds for a number of lovely old 20mm ranges (other than Hinton Hunt) and will be bringing them into production soon.
